Photographed on a seriously windy afternoon on a beach near Haifa, this old wreck of a small fishing boat from the 70's slowly rots away creating a wonderful photo opportunity!
"The Corpach Wreck," her real name is MV Dayspring. She was built in 1975 and in her prime an excellent fishing vessel bringing mackerel and herring. She was renamed Golden Harvest by new owners and made her last voyage under her own power in 2001. She was left moored for several years at Kinlochleven Pier. Due to a raiser chain failure during a heavy storm she ran aground near the Corpach Sea Lock on the 8th December 2011 and has lain there ever since.

This is what happens when you have a week off work and get bored. I had lunch, went to the gym, sat down and twiddled my thumbs. I thought of something close I could photograph but the only thing that popped into mind was the Marie Gabrielle Shipwreck. I jumped in the car at 2 and shot off hoping to make it in time. I got down the 366 steps just after 5 so I was :)
- Wreck Beach, Great Ocean Road.
The long hike down to the black beach of Sólheimasandur is totally worth it to see this surreal scene. Over 40 years of rough weather is definitely wearing it down, but I'm amazed that so much of the wreckage is still there.
Another shot taken at Lower Upnor on the River Medway, Kent UK. This part of the river was the location of an attack by the Dutch fleet during Tudor times. There are many wrecks in the area though most are relatively recent.
The wreck of tug Carbon . It was being towed from Portland to Southampton for salvage when the towing line broke off the Needles in 1947. The ship drifted into Compton Bay on the Isle of Wight and ran aground on the rocks , its remained here rusting ever since ,only accessible during certain spring low tides .
I walked out onto the slippery bedrock around 5:30am this morning with friend and fellow photographer Rich Smith and was also joined by another friend and fellow photographer Jamie Currie slightly later on.

The wreck of the steam trawler 'Shereton'. It was built in 1907.
In 1947 the boat broke free from its moorings and was washed up on Hunstanton Beach Norfolk.
Trebetherick
Another section of a wrecked ship on Trebetherick Point in the Camel Estuary.
This is another vessel which at some point in the past will have come to grief on the Doom Bar sand bar at the mouth of the Camel Estuary.
For centuries the Doom Bar has been regarded as a significant danger to shipiing. To be approached with caution in order to avoid running aground. When sails were the main source of power ships coming around Stepper Point would lose the wind, causing loss of steerage, leaving them to drift away from the shipping channel.
Richard Hellyer, the Sub-Commissioner of Pilotage at Padstow, gave evidence in 1859 that the Doom Bar was regarded as so dangerous that in a storm, vessels would risk being wrecked on the coast rather than negotiate the channel to Padstow harbour.
The Bar has accounted for more than 600 beachings, capsizes and wrecks since records began early in the nineteenth century, the majority of which are wrecks.
Despite improvements in maritime technology, the RNLI still deals with incidents on the Doom Bar. In February 1997, two fishermen drowned after their boat capsized. Two anglers had died in a similar incident in 1994. On 25th June 2007 the Padstow lifeboat along with a rescue helicopter, rescued the crews of two yachts in separate incidents from the area.
Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.
It would be interesting to know where all the flotsam and jetsam that ends up on on Black Rock beach originates. It ends up in one corner of the beach as the harbour wall stops it travelling any further up the coast.
